Anyone in here use Dr. Alvarez?

I did not but in my research of Doctors in Mexico he was in my top 2. He seems personable and knowledgeable. He has so much info out there that helps the entire community with his podcasts, YouTube videos and his Facebook group.

Oh, you are so on my wavelength! :)

Sorted through all my clothes this weekend and organized them by size. Pretty much a nerd, but I don't care. I'm just so stoked that I won't be in my fat clothes for too much longer.

More worried about making it through the pre op diet right now. At least without killing anyone........

Looks like we will be in recovery together. My surgery is March 31st at Santa Fe medical with dr.jesus lopez. Right now I'm doing the pre opt diet.

Helloooooo to aaaaaall, i seen activity hoppin in this thread and it seems like just yesterday i was in here gathering info and anticipating the day! April 25th will mark my one year sleeversary :D i will say to the newcomers...it's been the BEST decision of my life! dont compare ur journey to anyone elses. i expect to be another 10lbs down by April 25th to bring me to 190! I'm not rushing to get to 175 and the KEY is to eat right. i've had so many stalls n scales goin up n down becuz i was still in fat girl mentality. i still enjoy buffalo wings i just dnt eat 10 but 3 or 4 lol. pizza and marinara pretty much makes my stomach funny so i dnt eat that (alot) NO WHITE BREADS AT ALL or carbs for that matter. listen to ur body. once you get in the habit of eating better you'll realize that fried chicken wasn't so good after all. do i eat plants all day...of course not cuz im human lol. i can still eat whatever i want i'm just more mindful of it. I have a trainer in which i work out 2-3 times a week that's helped alot and it's truly a lifesyle change. im learning everyday to get better.

congrats and good luck april sleevers!!! ;-) you'll look back in a year wondering dmn why didn't i do this sooner.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
